This is not dog story, as the title might
imply, for II relates to something as plain as
the nose on your face, in fact, II is the nose
which is TO be considered and II is to be shown
that, however refractory that member may be-

aThe difficulties and dangers OF cycling
Arc greatly exaggerated In tho minds OF most
oersons who have had no experience with
wheels said Mr.. George r. Bidwoll. Chief
Consul Of tho New York State Division Of the
League OF American Wheolmsn. It is the
popular notion that in learning to ride
bicycle man gets innumerable headers and
complicated tumbles, breaks few bones, and
bots generally smashed up to an extent
keaualod only by the professional ball player.
[ II is also believed by many that only an ath-
/ lete can rido wheel-that much strength,
muscular development, and training are re-
CURED. Tho facts are quite different. The
beginner rarely takes header. and
with reasonable caro- no wheelmnn need
get any serious falls. Considering the num-
Der Of riders. tho accidents in cycling
are fewer than in almost any other athletic
sport. Most OF the Academia that occur are
duo to carelessness. and happen oftener to OK
perts than to novices The beginner is pretty
sure to be cautious and will not take the
chances that an expert takes. Headers usual
ly result from over confidence. The rider has
become 80 accustomed to tho machine that he
ceases to watch tthe road as carefully ns he
should, and whom his wheel unexpectedly
strikes stone or bad rut. over h. goes. But
even header is not such a terrible thing rs
porne imagine. The position Of the rider is
such that when the wheel tips forward he will
generally fall upon his hands and knees. He
may scrape the palms OF his hands and tear
his trousers, but 1t rarely happens that any
more serious injury Is sustained. Serious ac-
cidents have happened to whselmen, but the
percentage ofsuoh Is very small. On the whole.
riding bicycle cannot be called q dangerous
sport. It Is not nearly so dangerous as horse
back riding, but nobody thinks OF condemning
the latter exercise because Of the risks.
Learning to ride is not 80 dlfllcult as 1t
seems. 1t takes three or four lessons to ac-
uuire the knack OF balancing the wheel. Tho
thing to learn is TO avoid tipping the wheel
over with your own weight. While In motion.
the wheel OF itself will not fall down. Roll
coin on the floor and It will remain upright rs
long as 1t is moving When It comes to a stop
1t falls. A bicycle is governed by the same law.
Tho weight OF Q rider however. II thrown to
one side, will destroy tho equilibrium Of the
wheel. To keep 1t upright, the rider must use
his own weight to preserve the balance. II he
feels the wheel tipping one way he must move
